Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides appear among innovative biopolymers with potential therapeutic interest. Nevertheless, issues concerning efficiency, production costs, and toxicity persist. Herein, we show that conjugation of peptides with chitosans can represent an alternative in the search for these needs. To increase solubility, deacetylated and degraded chitosans were prepared. Then, they were functionalized via N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthiopropionate...
